I was trying to work with back lighting today using a remote flash. This was the result. Please critique and offer suggestions you might have.

Thanks,

Great shot!

Wonderful Image!

I love the third photo. To me the dark exposure adds to the mood.

I have Windows 8.1 and the embedded photo app will display RAW files from my Nikon D3200. I don't use that to edit but it is handy to cull them first. I import the files to a folder, view them in the app and delete. When I am finished deleting I edit what is left with whatever editor I am using and then save a Jpeg copy in a separate folder to post or share. Hope that helps.

Nikron7- Make no mistake both lenses are great its just the Tamron is better at the long end. I have the Tammy and love it. In my opinion it is a very sharp lens. Attached are a few photos I shot this spring with the Tamron on my D3200.

Great lens but its softer from 200-300 than the Tamron 70-300 SPVC and the Tamron has a slightly lower F-stop.

Thank you for the replies. We had a pretty hard winter here in Western NY so their coats are still pretty thick. The weather has only just gotten nicer but obviously still wet.

I too choose the second (buildings). The lines are clean and the symmetry of the narrow towers draw the eye to the center of the frame.

My daughter and I took a walk in the sun yesterday and she begged me to take some pictures of the horses. This is my result. These were shot in RAW and PP using RAWTherapee. Any comments or suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Thank you all for the greetings and compliments. They are truly appreciated. I have included a few more black and whites of our newest addition. I convinced my wife a few months before the baby was born that I really needed a 35mm F1.8 for some shallow DOF shots LOL. It has worked very well and rarely comes off the camera unless i am using something long. My wife is very glad i bought it as she (and I) have really enjoyed looking at the pictures it takes :-). I welcome any suggestions you might have on my technique or results.

Thanks,
Shane

Thank you Moxie!

Thank you for the replies. The gun started out as a stock Ruger 4 5/8 blackhawk in 45 colt. All of the work was done by me. It has a stainless ruger frame from a rough casting. All Power Custom spings, trigger and hammer. The cylinder is from a .44mag bisley that i chambered for 45 colt with .4525 throats for cast bullets. The barrel was removed and machined back one turn and set to .003" b/c gap with an 11 degree forcing cone. It shoots really well with 325 grain cast bullets @1250fps :) . My daughter prompted me to do a photo project on it. One hobby services another :-).

Thanks,
Shane

Great Guns, I have many Rugers and love them all. This is a custom Blackhawk to Bisley Conversion i did last year.

Hello UHH members. I was pointed to this site by a friend and have enjoyed the posts and photos I have seen so far. I am a beginner with about a year of time in. My wife bought me a Nikon D3200 last year and I have spent my ducats on lenses since then. Thank you all for such wonderful and useful content. The attached files were all shot natural light with my D3200 with either a Nikor 35 f1.8, Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4, or a Tamron 70-300SPVC F4-5.6.

Thanks,
Shane
